Since the 80’s Funky have been manufacturing snowboards out of Italy. After a 15 year hiatus they came back to market determined to bring back the glory days, and now they present their best ever range for 2021/22.
The Funky Radical is a freestyle focused snowboard, built for long days lapping the park and hitting every feature in sight. Coming in at under 500 euros, and with one of the raddest nostalgia-fuelled graphics on our radar, we’re stoked to say buongiorno to the 2021/22 Funky Radical.

Who Is The Funky Radical For?

If hotlapping the park with your homies sounds like your idea of heaven, then look no further. Intermediate and up riders will appreciate the explosive pop, rapid speed and middle of the road flex on offer here.

Shape, Profile and Sidecut

As you’d probably expect for a park deck, the Radical runs a true twin outline. Perfectly balanced for throwing spins, equally at home regular or switch, there’s nothing quite like it for freestyle.

Another classic feature for all-mountain freestyle boards, you’ll find a CamRock profile underfoot. Camber through the middle for stability, pop and power, rocker outside the bindings for a slightly more catch-free feel and to keep it nice and pressable in the tips.

So, while a true twin CamRock is pretty standard for park boards, Funky have a few tricks up their sleeve to ensure the Radical is no run of the mill deck…

Construction and Materials

A lightweight, dual wood core is bolstered by carbon strips running the length of the board. These allow you to retain a slightly more playful torsional flex but inject a massive dose of pop into the Radical. Load up the tail and boost off lips with ease.

Vulcan Snake Antishock sounds like a luminous green liquid you’d drink shots of at a shady downtown bar, but it’s actually a really smart way of absorbing vibrations. Funky lay this microperforated rubber round the edges of the board to cancel out any unwanted chatter from smashing through chop and chunder.

The core is sandwiched by both triax and biax glass to deliver precise response, without it being too overbearing. Top it off with their ultra-speedy Nanotech 9000 sintered base and you’ve got a board that’s as precise as it is powerful.

Roundup

We love the look of the Radical, and Funky have loaded it up with some of their best tech to deliver a board that’ll perform both inside and outside the park ropes. No wonder it’s their best seller since 2017.
